Well idiot me always plugged the jumpdrive through my front usb port and never had a problem.
Last night at work, showed a buddy and thought id try it on the comp there, as i was taking it out he said no, click on the task manager to remove it properly i said naaa it's fine. It was.
Last night at home, thought id try it and again, plugged it in and removed it no problem.
This morning plugged it in, but for some reason took it out while it was being loaded and read by the computer.
So it got corrupted, called Sandisk they tried to troubleshoot it and it was fried, they said send it in with proof of purchase and theyll send me a new one.
Asked them they won't try to fix it or anything, just in case, because i do have some personal files and pictures of friends and family on there.
He said not to worry. I trust Sandisk and it's a very reputable company, but the other part of me says what if someone actually tests it out, gets it working and checks the files, not good.
So is there any way to wipe the memory off of it, outside the computer?
ie - taking a magnet to it? friends said, it won't work because it's a chip, inside.
Anyone? Anyone?....
...thanks in advance...
already tried formatting through my computer > manage > disk management...but the option for format isnt even there, its greyed out.
